Gen. Butler says the line must be
drawn somewhere, and he thinks the
flags the proper place. He says: "We
have sent back to the south pretty
much all we got from them. We have
given them all we took from them in
cotton under the laws. l don't COM
plain of that at all. There is no senti-
ment there. But we must stop some
where in this giving up everything
that belongs to the war. For, if we
return our flags captured from them, ]
think the next thing they will ask will
be that we return the slaves captured
from them. proposeto stop at the
flags, here and now."

The order of President Cleveland to
return to the southern states the flags
which had been captured by the north
ern soldiers on the bloody fields of bat
tie. raised throughout the whole north
such tumult as has not been wit
messed for many a day. The boys who
assisted in the capture of those torn
and CORY mementoes of the time when
treason sought to disrupt and dismem-
Der the Union, rose as one man in their
indignation at this uncalled for order.
The president soon discovered that he
had stirred up "hornet's nest" and
rescinded the order; but it will live in
memory and will be heard from in

Jay Gould, for the first time IN his
busy life, found an opportunity last

leaving the yacht at Giesboro Point,
below the arsenal wharf, they steamed
up here in two of the smartest little
steam launches ever seen in these
waters, and employed an afternoon in
driving about the city and surrounding
country.
Seventy miles from Washington, is
Colonial Beach, noted salt water
bathing place. This beach has long

Before reeching Mount Vernon, on a
sail down the river, Forts Foote and
Washington are passed, on the Mary
land side, and almost opposite to it, is
Marshall Hall, the old homestead Of a
branch of the family of the first Chief
Justice; it now affords glimpse to
modern eyes, of the mode in which the
well-to-do farmer or plantation owner
lived in by-gone days. The place is
wonderfully preserved, and admirably
kept at present, as an excursion.

sixty miles distance.
The Potomac river, from its source il
the Alleghenies to it's mouth at tht
Chesapeake bay, is 400 miles long
For nearly half that distance, in pass

of this city, it is a comparatively mar
row stream; but when it reaches Alex
andria, as l have said, it widens out tt
about mile and half. In it's cours
to the sea, it gradually expands. until
at its mouth it forms a broad esturary
seven and a half miles wide. This rep
resents the width Of the river iron

it empties into the Chesapeake Bay.
